Where and how to report in Riverview
Key contacts and channels, or let us do it for you
Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office

Lost or found a pet?
If your companion animal is missing, Hillsborough County Animal Services and the Humane Society of Tampa Bay both have lost pet resources and search databases. We recommend you also file a priority lost pet report with us to tap into local rescue networks and continuous social monitoring.
